The computer security expert, who invented the McAfee anti-virus software, claimed “fifteen to 25 percent” of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims are extremists, meaning ISIS could have an army of 400 million fanatical followers ready to strike at any minute. Computer boffins at the terrorists’ headquarters in Raqqa have developed a secret smartphone application designed to spread Islamist propaganda and help followers carry out terrorist attacks from the comfort of their own homes. A team which may have included British hacker Junaid Hussain invented a feature which allows even the most computer illiterate of jihadis to launch sophisticated Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against websites. DDoS attacks work by flooding a site with fake traffic, causing it to grind to a halt, and have been successfully used against some of the world’s biggest companies and government departments. Experts now believe that ISIS hackers carried out a major test of the app’s capabilities last week by launching an audacious attempt to bring down the 13 root servers which keep the Internet running worldwide. Whilst the attack ultimately failed, it did temporarily slow down services across the globe and has been described as an unprecedented attempt to strike at the heart […]

While the Ebola outbreak raged through Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea in the summer of 2014, public life ground to a halt. The danger of congregating in groups meant that public institutions, like schools, shut down. But the months of sickness and segregation left a legacy for girls that’s only now starting to be felt: teenage pregnancy spiked, and some of the girls are now being victimized by the government’s education policies.

Data on teenage pregnancy in West Africa is difficult to obtain, especially as it’s often stigmatized and underreported. But Plan International, a children’s charity, said back in 2014 that teenage pregnancy rates in West Africa—already among some of the world’s highest—were on the rise.

A west Michigan pair who absconded during a federal child pornography investigation are the latest fugitives to be profiled on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) smartphone app, seeking public tips about at-large and unknown child predator suspects. The suspects are the targets of an investigation by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

Normann Pittelkow, 42, and Nicole Jacob, 35, were charged by criminal complaint Oct. 23 for producing and conspiring to produce child pornography. Following a Sept. 27 search of the pair’s Albion, Michigan, residence in connection with the probe, officers seized several computers and mobile devices.

According to state court records, the couple is accused of producing images and video of material involving the sexual abuse of minors.

Anonymous hates Kanye West now? It appears that is what the latest news from the hacker group says. According to a March 12 report from Popcrush, a new video posted to the Anonymous Twitter account seems to be targeting Kanye West. When did the hate for West begin? It looks like when he tried to intercept Beck as he accepted the best album award at the Grammys. West has been known to voice his opinions and it appears that the hacker group is going to teach him a lesson. Fans are wondering what Kim Kardashian thinks about her husband being targeted. Kanye West is hated by a lot of people across the globe. Because he often doesn’t think before he speaks, he has made a lot of enemies. Anonymous hating West could lead to a lot of issues not only for him, but also for the Kardashian family. The hacker group wouldn’t think twice before releasing financial information, phone numbers, or other sensitive documents. Fans are waiting for comments about this from the rapper or Kim Kardashian, but nothing has been said yet. There isn’t a long time in between the times Kaney West puts his foot in his mouth. […]
